@Milarepa: Buy gold while its at its highest point in history? Good idea 2-3 years ago, horrible idea toady. Save your money, get rid of debt and make sure your have an emergency fund. If you still have too much money after that then look into investing.

Next time will you please specify that its by a single guy living near New York City... I would have never wasted my time reading it had I known that up front. You can't compare the housing situation of NYC or Southern California to any other areas of the country. Where I live housing prices weren't affected by the…

Ubuntu-eee for me. Then some half-baked version of Mythbuntu/Ubuntu Studio.

I don't ever want to listen to someone's phone conversations, espeically while I'm flying. Its too loud on a plane to begin with so they're going to yell or the person on the other end won't hear a thing. Give people access to e-mail and instant messaging and that will be enough.

Windows Genuine Advantage made me switch. I rightfully owned my copy of XP and they came up with that garbage to ensure my copy was "genuine" (and it was). Microsoft's guilty-until-proven-innocent attitude turned me off from Windows.

Go to youtube and look up any Bodyweight exercises by TTfitness, start out with the Bodyweight 100 and work your way up to the Bodyweight 500. If you can do the 500 easily then you're ready to move on up to using actual weights.

If a girl (or guy) sleeps with you BECAUSE you have an iPhone, chances are that you're going to wake up alone and your iPhone will be missing.

That is a terrible title for Americans. When they read "eat less meat" they'll think "eat more french fries." If you change your message from "eat less meat" to "eat more fruits and vegetables" that's much more sound advice. Properly prepared lean chicken, turkey, and fish are incredibly healthy and should be…

Can web 2.0 help get that guy a shirt? No? Then web 2.0 isn't really solving my online problem right now.

It doesn't matter, anyone who knows why XP is better than Vista knows how to reformat their PC and pirate, I mean reuse, an old copy of XP. Plus Vista is the best thing to ever happen to Linux.

I found its best to keep a visual list of your priorities along with a rough draft of your schedule. That way when you're asked to do something you point to your list and ask your boss what this new request takes priority over, and if it would not take priority then show them an estimated date of when you could start…

Give yourself a break and start out with Visual Basic. From there try out C# or Python. I do C/C++ all day long and they're not for beginners - try to avoid pointers and memory management/garbage collection until you need to - they're not for beginners.

The current amount is great, less posts would be fine as long as they're all the same quality we've gotten used to. Some more user feedback posts/competitions would be great.

When I was searching for a job I received offers from 3 companies with similar salaries and 'perks'. I chose the company that had the best company atmosphere. Everyone knew everyone, and their business model seemed much more stable than the other larger companies. So a company's stability is most important to me. …

Another important thing to think about - before you polish get some metrics on your prototype. Measure your productivity in any way that's important to you, then start working on improvements. Improvements don't mean anything if they didn't actually improve performance.

I just got married in November, I used a lot of Google tools to keep everything organized. We used Google Calendar to keep track of all our appointments with vendors, and used Google Docs to keep track of invites list and vendor list. Google Docs was great because we were constantly traveling and I didn't always…

Wow what's with the massive Windows bias? You guys have articles on Linux all the time, but almost no Linux apps on the list :-(

This is extremely important info for any high school or college students who have MySpace pages. Employers will see those, if you have drunken pictures of yourself your potential employers will see those. If you know anyone with a MySpace account do them a favor and convince them to delete it. Its for the best...

I use the Send To menu all the time, I've always wanted the option to choose Send To then browse to the folder. This addon is great.
